Blind Willie Johnson LP 1927-1930 (1965 USA Folkways RBF10) NM/NM

On Folkways/RBF Records (Cat: RBF10) Vinyl LP in thick card cover released in USA in 1965.

This record has been play graded and the sound quality is affected, as always, by the quality of the original early recordings (1927-1930). Most tracks have some crackles, but there are no sound defects between tracks, the surfaces are clean & bright and there are no visible scratches or scuffs. This would indicate that all sound imperfections have been transferred from the original. As a result, I have graded the record as NEAR MINT, as it most probably is true to the original. (NOTE: I only grade as MINT discs that are sealed or genuinely have not been played). The cover is near perfect, and is graded NEAR MINT. See below for further details.

RECORD: This record has been play graded and there are no loud clicks and no jumping or sticking on any track. See above for a detailed description of the sound quality. The labels are clean with no writing, no stickers or other blemishes. The record is graded NEAR MINT.

COVER: The thick card cover has a matt front & textured glossy rear surface, with matt upper band. The front & rear surfaces are in great condition. The front upper open edge corner has a very small very light mark. All edges & corners are sharp with no wear. The spine print is easily readable with no wear. Otherwise the cover is in perfect condition – no creases, no writing or other blemishes - and is graded NEAR MINT.

INSERT: There is no insert with this album.

Please see my feedback to give you assurance of my descriptions.

GRADING: Records are graded using the Rare Record Price Guide – please ask if you require further information. I always play grade the records I sell, unless sealed or stated otherwise.

PACKAGING: This item will be protected inside a strong thick card pro-mailer with a stiffener – see my feedback.  I prepare a record (unless factory sealed) for despatch by re-packaging it in a new polythene-lined inner sleeve, and place it separately from the company cover to avoid splitting the seam. The record could otherwise slip around inside and cut through the edge of the card cover. To add further protection, I place the whole package inside a polythene outer slip case. If you have an alternative request for packaging, please contact me before making payment.

COMBINED POSTAGE: I always combine postage costs wherever possible. On multi-purchases up to 4 single albums (LPs), postage is the same as for a single item (LP). This includes gatefold covers as well. Please wait for me to invoice you after the auction/sale, or if you prefer to pay straight away, I shall reimburse any over-payment for postage via Paypal.  

POSTAGE UK: £4.69 Royal Mail 2nd class signed for service. Other postal services – please email me.

POSTAGE OVERSEAS: Shipping charges are available on the drop-down country list.  The Global Shipping Program is used for overseas destinations – packages are posted to the UK GSP central depot, where they are re-addressed & shipped to the final destination. There may be a further (import duty) charge at the destination country.
